New release ? #13

Closed dkm closed 3 years ago

dkm commented 3 years ago

Hi ! I was wondering if a new release is planned ? The last one is ~1 year and some changes already in the main branch are needed by some use cases (like using RTIC with tm4c123). Thanks !

No; basically we don't plan to invest more in TM4C, and additionally I have become annoyed with platforms like crates.io (as a general concept, not with crates.io in particular). Are you able to use the git version in Cargo.toml?

No; basically we don't plan to invest more in TM4C,

Are you saying that this repository is going in maintenance mode ? Or even that you don't really plan on doing anything more ? For example I see that svd2rust has changed some interfaces recently, so I guess in the near future I will try to update tm4c crates. Should I open a pull-request anyway, or should I try to find another solution ? (maybe this crate could be moved along with tm4c-hal?).

and additionally I have become annoyed with platforms like crates.io (as a general concept, not with crates.io in particular).

I can understand this also...

Are you able to use the git version in Cargo.toml?

Sure I can, and that's what I'm already doing. I was planning on asking for an update in tm4c-hals after this one, so that everything is up to date. I guess I should ping tm4c-hal maintainers to see if they can update their dependencies using git ref instead.

thanks !

If you open tested and easy-to-accept PRs, I will merge them.

dkm commented 3 years ago

Ok, will do that ! Thanks for your time !

Hi again,

I was willing to add a git dependency in tm4c-hal (see https://github.com/rust-embedded-community/tm4c-hal/pull/43 ) but that's not possible because crates.io does not accept such dependency. It means that not updating these crates is blocking downstream crates. If you don't plan on continuing active development of this repository (aside from merging PR), would you be ok with transferring it to rust-embedded-community ? Or maybe only part of it (ie. only the generated crates) ?

@dkm please see private emails.

Closing it as it won't happen here.
